RE:Vision Effects, acclaimed effects plug-in industry leader and makers of Academy Award winning software, announces a new version of their ReelSmart Motion Blur and Twixtor plug-in products for Fusion and Vision are now available.
ReelSmart Motion Blur (RSMB) automatically adds more natural-looking motion blur to a sequence. Proprietary tracking technology is at the heart of RSMB, so there is no handwork involved. Of course you can add as little or as much blurring as you need and even remove motion blur! This is a useful tool to give video a more film-like feel, and is also useful to reintroduce motion blur for blue or green screen shoots where a fast shutter is necessary to pull a good key. Also included is a plugin that allows you to blur with user-supplied motion vectors... which, most likely, will come from a 3D animation system.
